5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f43c283a89a7dc531a47d4b1e001503cf3dc3234 ] Use the helper fget_task and simplify the code. As well as simplifying the code this removes one unnecessary increment of struct files_struct. This unnecessary increment of files_struct.count can result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct and breaking posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to fget reducing performance.
